More than 50 taken into protective custody for intoxication

Ambulances from at least six communities were called to the Xfinity Center in Mansfield Saturday night after a number of people became ill, officials said.

Mansfield police and fire officials said 46 people needed medical treatment and 22 were transported to a hospital for "mostly alcohol-related" causes. More than 50 people were taken into protective custody and others were arrested for intoxication, police said.

"Police dealt with a steady stream of intoxicated persons," a statement read.

The illnesses were caused by alcohol consumption, a fire official said Saturday.

Keith Urban was the headliner at the concert venue.

Officials did not have an immediate number of people who were treated.
